Police were called at 8:38 p.m. to the 1100 block of Hollyburne Avenue for a report of shots fired and found a man tending to his 4-year-old male American terrier dog named Rambo, which was suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

The owner told police a man riding a dark mountain bike down the street came upon Rambo in the front yard, chambered a round and fired a shot at his pet for no apparent reason, injuring his shoulder. The man also told police he and his family were inside their home when they heard the shot. The dog is currently in stable condition, police said.

The owner said the shooter is in his late teens or early 20s and wore a black-hooded jacket and dark colored pants. The man then fled and was last seen riding north on Pierce Road, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Menlo Park Police Department at 650-330-6300 or the anonymous tip hotline at 650-330-6395.
